Flicker - Chris Sturniolo

Momma Adiar

The rest of the night went on as one would expect. With everyone spilled around Sab's living room talking and doing whatever could be thought of. Alora found herself finally enjoying the company of people in LA. Since she had gotten into the aspect of music industry one thing she had forever dreaded was coming to Los Angeles. The only people she really had were Cillian, Lance, and Lydia. Sure Alora had always been a firm believer in quality over quantity that didn't change the fact that it got lonely at times. You always hear artists and actors talking about the draining effect of LA but she never believed it till she lived it. That's why she never made her stays longer than they had to be. Always flying in and flying out as soon as she could. 

A certain person by the name of Cillian never really enjoyed the idea of her never wanting to stick around, but that's why she loved touring so much. It gave her a reason to stay away. Unless it was home Alora was never a fan of sticking around in one place. She was meant for seeing new places. A new city every night was the dream she loved to live. The idea that one night she could be somewhere by the sea and the next in some town surrounded by mountains was everything she lived for. She loved the world and more than anything she wanted to experience every part of it.

When Alora realized that her music wasn't just a silly little thing she did on the sidelines anymore she knew LA would be a spot she would grow to spend more time in. Part of her knew she couldn't rely on spending her time taking up the space in Lance and Lydia's house or Cillian's bedroom so she got a place she'd be able to make her own. After searching the highs and lows of LA she came across a small apartment in Long Beach. It was small, but it had everything she was looking for. But to make it perfect it required work and some things took longer than others. It was coming together in just the way she wanted. Soon she'd be settling in, putting in furniture that she's always had her eyes laid upon.

Time with Sab, Oliver, Madi and the triplets had passed in moments. It felt as if in the span of 5 minutes the time went from 8 pm to 1 am, and suddenly everyone was saying their goodbyes. "Bye you beautiful girl it was so nice to meet you finally," Alora said pulling Sab into a hug.

"It was nice to meet you too Alora. I hope you know we'll be seeing each other a lot more often now," Sab replied.

"We better be."

Oliver came next pulling Alora into a big hug and praising her for the person she was. At the moment it was enough to make her cry and later on it did. "Oliver you are an angel thank you," She said with a smile.

"Always always always. This is like a dream to me," Oliver had a way with words. He had a pure soul that gave away the best vibes, and Alora adored it.

"Before I forget I want all of you to be at the Fonda Theatre on Wednesday if you can make it," Alora spoke. She wanted the people who showed her Would've, Could've, Should've was a good song to be at her concert. "I'd love to have you guys at my concert."

"Girl you're funny to think I didn't buy myself a ticket earlier today," Oliver piped.

"Oliver tell me you are kidding," she laughed.

"May a brick fly through the window and knock me out cold right now if I am lying," He defended.

"Oh my god please let me give you your money back," Alora said shaking her head.

"Absolutely not. I'll give the ticket away to a fan of yours girl. You bless with cheap tickets I don't need any money back," He responded.

The two bickered for a few before Alora gave in Oliver cheered. The five said goodbye to Sab and Oliver and worked their way back to the van. The boys insisted on giving her a ride so Laura wouldn't have to drag herself up and out of the house at this time. With Matt driving, Chris sitting in the passenger seat, and Nick, Madi, and Alora loaded up in the back the five drove the roads of LA blasting whatever music Chris had on shuffle.
